I was a Housewives addict, but after a few years of watching constant bickering and back stabbing, I'm not as loyal of a fan anymore.

I maybe tuned into a total of two episodes of  The Housewives of Atlanta this season - couldn't handle grown women acting like they're still in high school. I never see them do anything positive in their lives or for their community. Nene likes to say, "I'm rich." So give back and quit bragging. But, I will check out Kim's new show, Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding. She's the one in the group that has managed to stay out of the drama and focus on her family and new husband.                                                

My thought was to watch the Atlanta reunion show at the end of the season, but after a minute of hearing Nene run her mouth and pointing her giant finger, I was done with that as well.                    


Which brings me to Shahs of Sunset by Ryan Seacrest. I told myself not to tune in...don't need another show with ridiculous caddy women. "Hello we're Persian."  But, I've tuned in a few times and I really like it.

They are real working people, real friends with normal life issues, and they talk instead of screaming at each other. The cast consist of Reza, Mike, Sammy, Asa, GG and MJ.

Reza, is an openly gay man in the Persian community. He has had years of disconnect with his father - finally they had a heart-to-heart to repair their relationship -It was a touching and emotional episode.

 MJ  is successful with her real estate career, but she has a mother that is full of negativity. MJ confronts her mother about all the negativity she throws at her, but there is no changing her and her opinions. She told her MJ she wasn't successful and she wasn't marriage material. Ouch!

Mike Shouhed is single, Persian and Jewish, Asa Rahmati is artistic, free spirited, writes and records music. GG Gharachedaghi travels and shops saying that she's looking for a husband to take the burden off her father, and Sammy Younai is a residential developer in Beverly Hills that specializes in building multi-million dollar homes specifically for the Persian community.

Excited for next season!

I shared with you how I had my son leave my home because he's not in a good place right now.  Yesterday he was sitting outside my home when I pulled up.  I asked him why he was here - Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful he's okay but I can't be an enabler.                                                                               He had a couple of reasons why he popped in, but I know the real one is that he thought no one would be home and he was hoping he could get in to eat, crash, and find something to sell at a pawn shop. As horrible as that sounds it's the reality of how a drug addict operates.                                                     ...
I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
When I saw this I thought what a perfect gift for my husband. You see he bought me a television for the bedroom years ago and hung it on the wall before most people were hanging them on the wall. Of course with the TV came a remote - so it's my remote, right?  Really the only time he touches it is when I lose it - (which I do daily) he seems to be the one that always finds it so I think wrapping the remote and letting him use it for a day with some candy attached is perfect! I hope I can actually give it up for a day - he's not a fan of Bravo or HGTV.   http://willowbirdbaking.com/2012/04/25/gooey-chocolate-skillet-cake-ice-cream-sundae/  Also, I came across this cake which is pretty much the same recipe as my Texas Sheet Cake. I just never thought of baking it in my cast iron skillet and digging the center out to fill with ice cream... yum! We're all a fan of chocolate so this might make the Father's Day dessert list. Yesterday I put a cheesecake recipe up th...
